Mark Knopfler wrote Money For Nothing after overhearing a worker in a New York kitchen appliance store complain about their jobs while watching MTV. He wrote the song in the store sitting at a kitchen display they had set up. Many of the lyrics were things he actually said

 
After Vinyl came the 8-Tracks.
Yeah, that is John Entwistle introducing Thunderclap Newman. A band sponsored by Pete Townshend. The band also contained his Nephew Josh at one point.
